decision-making and how to incorporate risk and
uncertainty into the planning processes. In addition,
ManMAP tools to support the management of M&A process are
introduced.

out by VTT and the Turku School of Economics (ManMAP -
Managing the M&A process - From opportunities to new
business creation, www.vtt.fi/manmap) focused on the
management of mergers and acquisitions from the
